It is whataboutism, but it's more about the extreme display of indignation by those in the west as if it's a first time that that has ever happened, like who would ever imagine a nation doing that, the nerve of those Russians.
Evidence for this conspiracy theory?
The U.S. and UK generally don't get together to attack countries, period. They didn't here either. Russia invaded Ukraine. The west is helping Ukraine because, as you already admitted, Russia is in the wrong and should not be invading. It was started by Russia, not the west. It's only a proxy war in any sense because of Russia's actions and the threat they pose outside of Ukraine.
Take two steps back there and answer me a simple question: why did Russia invade Ukraine?
What I read into it is that you're extremely, extremely invested in blaming the evil on everyone other than Russia, and desperately trying to make America the bad guys because they dare to arm and support one of their allies when they are invaded by a foreign imperialist nation.
It's funny that you and your cohorts accuse others of "reading too much into things" and then post stuff like this.
I think in international law, the law is equal for all.
Are you incapable of addressing a post in a coherent, relevant way? What you are doing is a clear example of whataboutism. That's what you would address directly with a reply, if you're going to bother.I think in international law, the law is equal for all.
At least in civilized societies.
In my language there's no such a thing as whataboutism.
Just to be precise:
Whether or not Italian has an equivalent term is irrelevant. It's something that exists. "Whataboutism" is just the term we use to refer to it. Like a ball exists, whether or not there is a specific term in a language for it.
Indeed. Like when someone criticizes country A for not having legitimate elections but supports country B, despite them not having legitimate elections.
Your posts always defend Russia's invasionJust to be precise:
the Neo-Cons who waged horrific wars in the Middle East consider themselves God.
So they don't need another God in Heaven.
They are already God.
You don't understand.
Oh, I fully understand. You criticize Ukraine for suspending an election during a literal invasion of their country. You also praise Putin and Russia, who hold completely illegitimate elections that don't actually do anything.
That's your opinion.
No...I apply one single standard.
In America the wealthy get away with so many crimes...that the poor people would never get away with.
At this point what difference does it make why nations invade other nations? 2) You really do think in terms of us vs them, you pick sides and talk about defending god and country in the name of democracy, the same banner flown in every war, from the safety of your armchair far away from any danger.
This seems to be a common tactic by you all here too, claiming something is an opinion when it's not. This is not an opinion. Russia's elections are a sham. They are illegitimate. It's not true because I say it is. It's true because it's factual.
None of that made sense. Here's the actual deal from you:
That's true, as it is of most countries. It's also confoundingly irrelevant and doesn't at all address anything said.
I respect your opinion.
Yes, they are.
No...I said: they don't have the same freedoms as we EU people do, but at least they held new elections.
What do you mean by democratic state?
No, dear sir.
